With the goal of advancing the certain decolonial turn, Dr. Machete’s (Liliana Conlisk Gallegos) live, interactive media art production and border rasquache performances generate culturally specific, collective, technocultural creative spaces of production that reconnect Chicana/o/x Mestiza Indigenous wisdom/conocimiento to their ongoing technological and scientific contributions, still currently “overlooked” through the logic of the decaying Eurocentric project of Modernity. As a transfronteriza (perpetual border crosser), to her, the current limited perceptions of what research, media, and technology can be are like a yonke (junkyard), from which pieces are upcycled and repurposed to amplify individual and collective expression, community healing, and social justice. She has organized and curated 14 community-centered, interactive, decolonial, community building, and environmentalist, research-based multimedia artivism and critical intervention performances part of series such as, Technocultura & Resistencia: Otro Mundo es Posible (2018-2019), Our San Bernardino, Nuestro (2018), and The Art of Dreaming: The Power of Turning Trash into Art (2017-2018) exhibited in museums, universities and colleges in the Inland Empire like The Garcia Center for the Arts, California State San Bernardino, San Bernardino Valley College, and the Creating Thirst Academy of Moreno Valley. Liliana Conlisk Gallegos is Associate Professor of Decolonial Media and Communication Studies at California State University San Bernardino. She is a member of the ACM SIGGRAPH Digital Arts Committee. She has digital art pieces that have been exhibited at SIGGRAPH, The García Center for the Arts in San Bernardino, Human Resources art museum in Los Angeles, the PAMLA Arts Matter of the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association, and the Guizhou Provincial Museum in China.
